jazzabelle's diary, a little documentary.


Hello everyone! Do you remember earlier this year I wrote a post sharing with you that I was being filmed by Purple Boot Media for a little blogging documentary? Well here are the results! I was ever so nervous about what I'd look like and how I'd come across, but I'm rather pleased (just excuse my awfully frizzy hair!) with it all. Of course looking back now there are things I could have worded better, but for a girl who is always nervous, I think I did pretty well. A huge thank-you to Purple Boot Media for asking me to be featured in their webisode, I had such a wonderful time! I really do hope you all like the video, I'd love to know your thoughts! I'm sorry for being an awful blogger lately, I'm hoping I'll be in the mood to post again soon. Thank-you for being such wonderful readers. Love, Jazzabelle.

    Thoroughly enjoyed that :) Was going to just have a quick nosy, but ended up watching the entire thing. You came across really well, actually, exactly how I'd imagine you to be!

    Well done - I remember when I first discovered your blog (pretty soon after you started it) - I knew you were something special way back then :) Glad everyone else has noticed too..

    Oh that was just wonderful. I totally agree with your take on blogging as style rather than fashion, I find when I say I have a fashion blog people may look at me strange if I'm not wearing something trend based. I'm definitely going to come and visit your charity shop when I'm next in London!

    Hello, I really enjoyed your video by the way. I think that it's cool that you shared with us details about where you find your treasures. I guess I used to think "no way, that couldn't have been 50p!". Charity shops near me are pretty expensive, in comparison...which I guess made me have doubt sometimes. But I really enjoy your blog. Keep posting.

    Thank you for your lovely comment today. I see you're lacking blog motivation and confidence too. :( I hope you're ok and that you get back into the blogging swing of things again soon.

    I did a degree in Graphic Design but have always loved Interior Design. I did a short course on it in the evenings after uni and just knew it was what I wanted to do. It's just a case of mustering up the confidence to try and chase that dream and find a job of some kind. Almost a year later I've got off my bum! :)

    I'm crossing everything in the hope I get it. I'm so scared and feel I don't know anything! But I need to just go for it, however nervous I am.

    I think you should definitely look at going into Interior Design somehow :) You're comment brought a smile to my face. Thank you xxx

    I've only just come across your blog through a retweet by LLYMLRS from the Look Show (I think that's it at least!). I really couldn't leave your blog without leaving a comment to say how inspiring I've found it- particularly after watching this documentary. I love how honest and stripped back your style is and your approach to art and particularly the V&A. You really are an inspiration to the rest of us, particularly me who's more than guilty of being caught up in the whole consumerist whirpool that is fashion marketing- the amount I spend on clothes is obscene! I wish you the best of luck, although I doubt you'll need it, and also thank you- this is probably one of the first blogs I've come across that I've really been moved by x

    Ive just stumbled upon your blog via the asos website today. Can I firstly just say you seem lovely, as is your blog. I was getting a little fed up with the usual self indulgent and dare I say unrelatable style blog's that are so popular today. As a fellow blogger I understand the time constraints, effort and 'square eye' syndrome one often gets from repetitive blogging. However you come across very humble and honest and I appreciate that in fashion. Your honesty is quite endearing so please stay honest and stay stylish and keep posting.
    Kindest Regards

    The documentary was lovely and so are you. If i ever bump into you anywhere I will be sure to say hello.
    P. s I recently got membership at the V&A and saw the Thomas Heatherwick exhibition, go see it if you haven't.
